Abstract

Cloud computing has come a vital tool for businesses and individualities to store and access data and operations. Still, with the adding reliance on Cloud services comes an increased threat of security breaches and data loss. The security concerns in cloud computing, such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and lack of transparency, are explored in this paper. also, the paper explores implicit results to these issues, similar as enforcing strong authentication protocols, encryption, and regular security checkups. It's important for associations to be apprehensive of these security pitfalls and take applicable measures to cover their data and systems in the Cloud.

Keywords

Cloud computing, Data breaches, Data protection, Security audits, Security issues
